Answer 1

You need to tell an adult- NO MATTER WHAT... tell an adult! RIGHT NOW! Tell your mom, but state these basic facts.

1) she&#039;s having problems with her boyfriend (at age 11, i don&#039;t think she should have one)

2) she needs help

you need to tell an adult. Try talking to your friend, tell her to stop, ask her how you can help... if she won&#039;t get help, get it for her. She might be mad at you, but in the longrun, she&#039;ll reconconize you were trying to help her. TELL AN ADULT!

Answer 2

best thing is to tell her parents and talk to them about but first talk to your friend and try to stop her from doing it, if that does not work than talk to her parents

good luck

Answer 3

She needs help

Do what you can, but don&#039;t let her drag you down with her

Answer 4

EMO....wow emotional basket cases...nah I&#039;m joking just tell her how you feel and how by doing this she is making you uncomfortable..but say it in a nice way or she will hurt herself probably.

Answer 5

Ok I had the same problem when I was your age.  My best friend was a cutter, too.  You totally have to tell her parents.  She is scarring up her body forever.  She is transferring the pain inside to real pain.  Tell them asap.  She may hit a big artery and kill herself by accident.

Answer 6

lol?

What about that is even remotely funny to you?

There&#039;s nothing you really can do. :/ If you want to make her miserable, tell her parents that she&#039;s cutting herself - and have proof. They&#039;ll probably make her stop, but she&#039;ll be angry at you.

11-year-olds shouldn&#039;t be dating, anyway.

Answer 7

She just wants attention. And thats what you seem like you want to.  

Answer 8

This falls under the category of drugs, abuse, and other stuff the McGruff dog teaches us in school.  You should talk to your parents or a teacher you can trust.

Answer 9

ask your friend why she does it. tell her you know she isnt being honest and that rabbits dont cut, they scratch. Tell her she can trust you (and BE trustworthy!!!) and ask her whats going on. Tell her she is important in your life and you hate seeing her harm herself because she is important to you. Encourage her to go see the school councellor or a Christian councellor at a youth group. if she wont get help for herself, and youve tried your hardest, its time to see her parents. tell them. they are the only ones who are around her enough to keep an eye on her and force her to get help.

dont judge your friend too harshly, you dont know whats going on at home. if she loves her boy more than her family, id say her home life isnt very good, even if it looks fine, its not.

be a good friend, always encourage her and let her know what she means to you. But dont let her influence you. If she starts making you feel depressed too or getting you into trouble, tell her parents whats going on with her and leave it to them. Get away! But if your strong, and your helping, stay by her side with kind words and a shoulder to cry on.

hope this helped!

pls answer my question too :-)

Answer 10

You should talk to your mom.  Tell her that your friend is hurting herself and that you leaving her would only do more harm.  Ask her for advice on how to help your friend through this because you know it&#039;s wrong.

Answer 11

tell your parents or a trusted adult immedialtely.

in cases like this, secrets are out of the question.

if you care about your friend then you will tell her parents, even if she refuses to hang out with you.

its better if you have a friend that lives than dies.

btw, your friend really shouldn&#039;t be dating at this age.

Answer 12

Needle pricks don&#039;t count...

Answer 13

I started cutting when I was 12. I said my cat scratched me. It puts you through an emotional h**l. Tell someone. Tell a parent, a teacher, someone to get her out of it.  

Answer 14

kids like that just need to run there corses.

Answer 15

[phone] and my name is Cameryn........  

Answer 16

I started cutting when I was 9. She needs to get help. BELIEVE ME! She doesn&#039;t want to live like this. If you are a true friend, tell her mom. You need to, you may save her life. Be more worried about her cutting then her boyfriend.

Answer 17

Ok I know this is hard for you to take right now, but you just may be saving a life if you say something to your mom, who needs to say something to counselors. This girl needs some serious help, the problem will only progress. If she&#039;s only 11 and doing this, imagine what she will be doing when shes 14. Get this girl help, I am sure your mom will still let you hang out with her, she will just want your friend to get serious help.  

Answer 18

i know it&#039;s gonna be super hard, but you need to talk to her parents privately and tell them. say that she confided in you that she&#039;s been cutting herself. she needs help, and her parents can give it to her.

it may ruin your friendship, but it could save her life.

Answer 19

leave her to it.
